I had an issue where my browser disappeared. Here are specifics for my installation.

Name Firefox Version 142.0.1 Build ID 20250827004350 Distribution ID raspberrypios User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:142.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/142.0 OS Linux 6.12.62+rpt-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.12.62-1+rpt1~bookworm (2026-01-19)

I relaunched and then restored previous session. After that, I searched open tabs, but when I selected a tab that was reported to be opened,  it was not restored. I went to troubleshooting mode and it worked fine suggesting some issue with an extension.  What, if any logs could I capture to help debug? thanks

Mozilla Firefox began to crash all the time; crashes happen almost every ten minutes, and it happens with every site. It still lasts about for several weeks. I tried to reinstall Firefox; I updated my drivers for my computer; I cleared cash and history in the settings; I tried to delete some files from Firefox's folder. All these things did not help. The crashes may happen with any site, and it can happen any time. I have no problem with memory shortage. My system consists of Ryzen 7 5800x, Radeon RX 7800 XT and G.Skill Flare X (for AMD) DDR4 2x16Gb.

I asked this question before and in response to a request upload the crash reports. But have heard nothing since. This is now happening daily. PLEASE, Mozilla, help me (and NBTW I make reg gifts in response to your appeals).

for some weeks now, Firefox (latest, in Windows) crashes, or says 'not closed properly' and shows (usually) 12 'instances' in Task Manager when only one tab has been opened. I'm not techie, and need clear advice. Can anyone help please? Hugh, UK

Firefox crashed and I restarted it and hit "Restore previous session". It started to do that, but then crashed again with a pop-up saying:

firefox.exe - Application Error A breakpoint has been reached. (0x80000003) occurred in the application at location 0x00007FFE1613B40E.

Click on OK to terminate the program

I clicked on OK. When I tried to restart, all my windows and tabs were not available and the "Restore previous session" button was gray.

Can someone fix this bug?

Weather I am accessing my account or trying to play any game I am getting a message---part of Firefox is crashing. How can this be fixed Thanks. Augustine Samuels [edited email from public]

I've gone through the various troubleshooting options over the last month or so and Firefox is still crashing constantly for me, even in Troubleshooting mode. The tabs crash when I'm using a Google Doc, YouTube, Discord, doesn't matter the site; I've submitted about 20 crash reports this morning alone and failed to submit several more:

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

I am intermittently but repeatedly getting this message in Firefox:

> The Windows file-dialog has crashed. No file or folder could be selected.

Windows 11, Firefox 142.0.1 Most recently within www.facebook.com Edit Album

Is this a known problem? And does it have a solution?

Hey, I've been experiencing my YouTube and Twitch tabs crashing almost every 20-40 minutes and it's been kind of annoying.

Does anyone know if the crashes are because of my drivers or Windows not being up to date? Never had this issue with Opera before.

Here are the crash reports: link text link text link text link text link text link text link text

Issue started a few month ago, tabs crashing 10+ times each day.

All my crash reports says "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ" but i dont know what is causing it, happens on multiple different pages

have many more crash reports, but dont know if that would help

I've done all the troubleshooting I could find, including: Uninstalling, tried using beta ff, disabled hardware acceleration, disabled/removed all extensions, memtest, updated various drivers. Still frequent tab crashes Tried two other browsers and neither of those had any issues. No crashing on edge or duckduck.

Crash reason seem to be mostly EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ and EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT

Few crashes from today: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/repor.../647f9599-8e18-417d-852e-b52300250827 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/repor.../2001d7f1-4cfc-476b-9a88-4679a0250827 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/repor.../b2101bae-a1cc-404c-b0d2-7b8230250827 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/repor.../dede8925-55e3-484e-b2ab-3863d0250827

When I close a video site tab, Firefox freezes and becomes unresponsive. After restarting Firefox from a force quit, I sometimes see a message like: “Bookmarks may not be visible or things may not look normal. Another instance of Firefox is running.” (I don’t remember the exact wording.) In that case, my bookmarks look like they are missing. If I close Firefox again and restart it, the bookmarks reappear, but I am logged out of every site and have to add all my accounts again from the beginning.

This means I have to log back into every single account again, like YouTube and others, which is very inconvenient.

I’ve been using Firefox for over 10 years, and I’ve never experienced this problem before. It doesn’t happen all the time, but it occurs periodically — sometimes every few days, sometimes every few weeks. This never used to happen in the past.

Please, I really need help with this issue. If I back up my cookies beforehand, would restoring them after such a crash bring everything back to normal?
